•Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which the almighty God revealed to all prophets before Prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him-. Allah says in the final testament:In the name of the God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
قُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ
Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to the God we are Muslims [submitting]."

Since the creation of man, there have been many Divine messages and Prophets -may the God exalt their mention- sent by the God -glory be to him- to different nations at different times. However, all these messages, from the first to the last, contained the same essence: They all called people to worship only The One True God and to do righteous deeds.
However, this message varies in some details, laws, codes of life and worship (but not in the essential beliefs) according to the diversity of nations, times, conditions, customs and cultures. Every form of this message was sent to a particular nation for a particular time, except the last message revealed to the last Prophet, Mohammed -peace be upon him- which was sent to all people and all nations till the Day of
